actual terrorist nature these guys have been blaming the government for everything and since nobody believes them anymore it seems that they decided to claim responsibility and the second thing is that this should have a great impact on the public opinion in syria and it did long ago because everybody knows that it's terrible that our bombing the question is going to affect the opinions of powerful powers like the us and nato nations. the intensified terror attacks on the syrian capital however did not receive much condemnation from the un its general sam lee is meeting in new york this week instead its calls for regime change that have grown louder with the u.s. president barack obama setting the mood by reading writing his commitment to forcing bashar assad to go in turn qatar one of the stages believed to be supplying the syrian rebels with weapons called an arab nations to intervene in syria bypassing the world body arches marina fortnight has been following the hot issues

being addressed in new york now. every world leader or high figure that took to the podium at the united nations general assembly on tuesday did address the crisis in syria the secretary general ban ki-moon described the war in syria as a regional calamity with global ramifications he urged the international community to act quickly with consensus before he says the crisis spirals out of control some western leaders took a more aggressive approach with their rhetoric french president francois alon said that the syrian government of bashar assad has no future among the international community and rebels on the un to immediately ride protections for syrian opposition groups that are currently occupying the northern part of the country u.s. president barack obama also released some criticism additional criticism of bush are saying that time has come for his government to go and the u.s. president also said that the international community should support the vision that

a regime and then expect to have a diplomatic solution so when president obama said that has to be replaced well then who used to do to go she didn't immediately the solution here was the regionally basically the one they're both russia and china pose which is that you get a cease fire you don't talk about regime change at this point that's part of the negotiation as part of the diplomatic process and i don't see that happening long and out of the united states and france and turkey and the gulf cooperation council particularly our in saudi arabia are trying to initiate in junior regime change some a little discouraged about where it's going to go from here but if it doesn't have a diplomatic solution i think the ripples are going to be just disasters and world leaders won't be the only ones addressing those gathered at the u.n.

a serious misrepresentation. washington's claims of a few innocent deaths. the brave new foundation hopes the study opens the door for more accurate information. the government said it's exceedingly rare that civilians have been killed as a result of these drone strikes they even say they do but the number in single digits which is absurd based on a host of different organizations that follow these things there has not been the kind of critical reporting that should happen on something of such a magnitude another problem is how the government classifies people in this region any male of the age of eighteen is considered a militant by the government's own. two faced accusations about who is who is targeted how they are targeted who is a militant what milton actually means to the government. there are too many contradictions for this to be true so. it is definitely worrisome.

live. live. live. live. with so many burning issues in the world today it's important that we're all as informed as we can be now one man that's more informed than most is william and l. geo political analyst and author of the book myth lice and oil wars and he joins me right now thanks very much for speaking to us thank you syria is of course the main issue at the moment globally just how close are we to seeing

a foreign military intervention in that country well the west in particular who washington has been trying for seventeen now eighteen months almost to blow syria's sky high and spread the chaos to iran because iran is the real target of the whole syrian destabilization i think we're on the cusp of the potentiality for a world war three you have the superpower involvement of the united states as the behind the scenes kind of puppet master of what's going on from the air to one government and this stumbled in turkey or two on has been heavily pressured by hillary clinton the u.s. state department to massively intervene in syria he's been heavily pressured inside his own cabinet to not intervene because twenty three percent of the turkish population is alawite most of them the same as it's minority in syria and most turks regard the syrians as brothers they're not they don't see them as

enemies the potential of syria to blow up is far greater than anything that i've seen in more than thirty years of geo political analysis this is really playing with fire that could go wildly out of control and some people obviously want that in the middle east but he benefits from syria being out of control i think the the operation would be rolled into a destabilization of iran very rapidly not a military intervention i think this is all smoke and mirrors on the part of israel so you're saying that iran is the. ultimate goal for washington and for more particularly for the very powerful interests in the anglo-american oil multinationals who have used oil since world war two not only to fuel industry but as a lever of political control geopolitical control if you will this is the theme of the book myths lies and oil wars that i just released and for them chaos in the middle east would open the door for huge new discoveries that they're sitting on

top of in the caribbean in pruett obey and alaska which they have not talked openly about but. competent geologists of told me that the normans resources there that are on top b.p. and the exxon mobil and so are simply sitting on these until the opportunity is right but to do that they'd have to have a far higher oil price and of course chaos in the middle east sort of set purpose so i don't think it's as simple as that i think there are a multiplicity of things going on but as henry kissinger said in a recent interview what is going on is not a fight for democracy and human rights inside syria it's a war of within religion within islam between sunni but not only sunni there was a bite salafi branch of sunni the dominate saudi arabia not the version of sunni that is endemic in turkey since the time of ataturk which is a very secular non-state involved until the government.
